Whether or not you’re a fitness enthusiast, you likely know or even own pieces from Lululemon. The brand is beloved for its sleek, stylish, and functional approach to activewear — whether you’re a dedicated yogi or marathon runner, you’re guaranteed to find something you’ll like. You’ll be even more pleased when you realize that with Black Friday fast approaching (yes, we also cannot believe it’s already that time of year again!), Lululemon is, thankfully, taking part. Now is the time to grab Lululemon’s signature leggings, sports bras, and accessories, to name a few, for less. Plus, at full price, they’re…

Those with demanding jobs understand that comfortable footwear is a must. Because let’s face it — soreness is inevitable, especially if you spend a lot of time on your feet. Take it from nurses who know a thing or two about it. That said, they often opt for supportive sneakers to ease the pain of standing and walking for long hours. And for those who crave such comfort, I’ve compiled a few nurse-approved picks that are on sale this Black Friday to get you started. You can even score plush kicks for less from brands like Hoka and Asics, along…

I live for Black Friday deals. I keep a running list in my iPhone’s Notes app throughout the year of the brands and products I hope will go on sale during this time. As soon as Thanksgiving is over, I’m scrolling and refreshing multiple websites to find the best sales.  My love for Black Friday has certainly paid off. Luckily for you (and, okay, for me too), I’ve scoured thousands of products across multiple categories — including hair care, skincare, sneakers, activewear, and wellness — to round up the 27 best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals that absolutely must…

TikTok is an app that—much like Taylor Swift—is all about eras. Pre-pandemic TikTok was marked by dancing montages and voiceovers. Mid-pandemic TikTok gave way to good soup and hot girl walks. And now we’re in an era where morning workout routine content is all the rage.  Morning workout routine videos—exemplified by trends like ‘5 to 9, before my 9 to 5’ and GRWM: morning workout edition—are about more than exercise. In addition to showcasing ultra-long workouts, these routines usually include clips of bed making, powdered green drinking, Michelin-esque morning meal making, showering, and a lot of face painting. While there’s no…

Dryness is a daily dilemma for my skin. That’s why I’m always stocked with moisturizers to fight the tightness, flakiness, and roughness all over. In fact, I own more than 10 formulas that I switch between. (Hey, at least I’m moisturized.) But when it comes to my go-to products, the Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Dew Cream is my favorite for dewy, glass-like skin.  As it turns out, Martha Stewart is a huge fan of it, too; her facialist Carmela Barabas revealed that Stewart has used the brand for over 40 years. I’m not surprised she swears by the lightweight formula, which…

Every hair texture and type comes with its own set of troubles, from tackling frizz to brittleness. Hair loss, however, is one concern that can affect any hair type. About one-third of women experience hair loss at one point, while around two-thirds of postmenopausal women struggle with hair thinning, according to a Harvard Health review. Fortunately, there are many ways to treat hair loss, starting with topical treatments like hair growth oils. Among the bounty of options, Nécessaire’s Scalp Serum is a shopper-loved pick and has the approval of the National Eczema Association, meaning it’s free of any potentially irritating…

There are few ingredients that garner as much popularity as retinol. After all, it improves your skin’s texture and appearance in so many ways, from smoothing wrinkles to combating acne. While it can be potentially irritating for some, it’s a useful ingredient for a smoother and firmer complexion. Among its varied formulas, a body lotion is one of the easiest ways to incorporate retinol into your everyday routine. Fortunately, there are plenty of affordable options, including the $19 Arganatural Tightening Retinol Body Lotion at Amazon.  Arganatural Tightening Retinol Body Lotion  Amazon This retinol cream tackles signs of aging, including dryness,…

Your choice of activewear can make or break your workout routine. When it comes to staying active in the winter, thermal clothing is a must-have if you plan to be outdoors. Enter fleece-lined leggings, which are the perfect staple to keep warm and protected from the cold weather.  Fortunately, Amazon has plenty of cozy options for workouts and leisure to add to your activewear collection. Not exactly sure where to start? Below, I’ve compiled seven fleece-lined leggings starting at $15 to keep you comfortable and supported for chilly temperatures.

Working out at home has plenty of benefits — you can workout whenever you want and it’s more cost effective than paying for a gym membership. Plus, there’s no need to worry about commuting, weather conditions, or finding the time to exercise with a busy schedule. Among the various equipment to choose from, an exercise bike is a great tool for indoor cardio workouts. It builds muscles, burns calories, and improves heart health. Fortunately, it won’t cost a fortune either: I found the Dmasun Exercise Bike, which is on sale for $230 at Amazon with an on-site coupon — and…
